I agree with you! It sickens me that a life is worth less in this world than a violin. In order to find a missing violin, they incorporate the FBI. But when an individual is shot in an unsolvable crime, it goes to the bottom of the list to never be looked at again. And then we wonder WHAT is wrong with our world today. We value our possessions more than we value another human life. Sickening!

What a bunch of BS. Barrett was in on this violin theft from day one. He knows possible affluent buyers and had these 2 guys steal it. The heads in charge of running this city are by far the biggest criminals
